There is no limit to creativity. One would believe there is not much to do with something as mundane as a kettle. However, someone in the past has already proved this notion wrong.
In a video shared by Katya Pavlushchenko, one can see a kettle which has a ring of two rockets attached on the side. These rockets apparently start spinning once the kettle begins to boil.
As per the information shared by Katya, the kettle is from the Kamenstein's World of Motion line kettles.

UPD: not a Soviet design, but one from the Kamenstein's World of Motion line kettles (thanks @tehWKD!). But anyway a great thing!

A person who seemed to have some knowledge about the makers of this kettle wrote, “rumor has it, they also produced one with graves rotating, different colors as well, one for intellectuals, one of holodomor, one for population transfers…”

Another person mentioned how two decades ago he gifted a similar type of kettle for his mother. More interestingly, this unique gift of his is also a part of his mother’s will. He tweeted saying, “I bought one of these for my mom for her birthday about 20 years ago, it's incredibly cool. It's also in the will that I get it back when she dies.”
